    Wonder how the shinnerbots on here are gonna whataboutery themselves out ex SF IRA commandant Dowdall’s waterboarding / feeding to dogs antics.

    Can’t really blame RTÉ / establishment parties / redacted / Joan burton on that one.

    Speaking of burton she really gave some harrowing evidence in court there. Shockingly – it didn’t get much coverage on here. But sure Whatever your position on water charges nobody deserves that. A few weeks in the Joy for Murphy et al would be great.

            Seriously though..the woman was looking for a stunt.

            She wasn’t terrified as she’s making out. Her own video evidence refutes that.

            She was free to get out of her car and mosey on off in a garda car..this was a stunt to tarnish water protesters..to find the ‘sinister fringe’.

            People blocking cars and tanks who lost their lives in Tiananmen Square weren’t accused of restricting the movements of those soldiers who rolled over the protesters, killing them.

            This trial is a joke. The woman knew what she was at, and got the reaction she wanted. People sat down by her car in protest of Labour’s policies and her clear disdain for the working class (see above, referred to as “dregs”).

            She was inconvenienced. That’s not something worthy of criminal charges.

        Shinnerbots? I’m guessing Steve is referring to Sinn Féin types? I’m a Sinn Féin type because of Steve’s type.

    SF truly the party of the worker does its own kidnapping and torture. Bourgeois FF keep their hands clean by hiring hitmen.

    thanks for the papers roundup Broadsheet but how about sticking in some mainland European covers ,Wapo or Nyt on the regular? In the spirit of Brexit an’all.

    June 8 is the date of the UK General Election. It may appear to the peoples of Ireland as insignificant. Truth is, it’s very. The NI bit is in disarray. Nobody is seated at Stormont, again. The knock-on effect to the 26 Counties, come the next, and ultimate election is that Ireland will be unified. I know that the mere thought of unification may send a shiver down the spines (as if they had spine) of the D4 types. I’m a BT9 type, despite that I’m also a GAA type. The bit in The IT oversimplifies the new potential paradigm of Ireland united.

        Pretty much everyone who thinks that the UK isn’t intrinsically linked to Ireland. The Brexit vote will be recorded in history as a turning point in British politics. 99% of Scottish voters ticked the “Remain” box, NI was 90% “Remain” – Wales was a poor turn-out, as usual – England, with the greater population opted to leave the EU. Democracy, it would appear is alive and well in the “Home Counties” .

          1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            That makes 189%, in total, voting Remain.
            I think that’s correct, using your maths.
            Sorry: ‘maths’.
